(53,544 posts)If Obama had a Congress that was more willing to do their job he would do well in a second term. Even without that, any first term President would do better than a 2nd term President if we have a Congress like we have now.
Going with a specific Hillary first term against 2nd term Obama the results are not likely to be that much different are far as policies. Their are advantages to a 2nd term President. Mainly that they already have their people in place for the most part and only need to replace those that want to do something else.
TOO MUCH FOCUS IS ON WHO IS ELECTED PRESIDENT. It is also important on the makeup of Congress as learned from the 2010 elections.
In addition, it is too late for anyone interested in someone else to be the nomination for Democratic Party. Instead of wasting time on foolish wishes. We need to make sure Obama is elected with a strong Democratic Congress that will support him. And do our part to better educate the voters on what Obama has accomplished and what still needs to be done and the need to elect the right ones on the ticket below Obama. There is so much that voters need to know that is part of the puzzle. Like stop watching Fox News and listening to the likes of Beck and Windbag. Call out their local media when they slant the news on purpose. Twitter them to hell so that others know they lie or twist the truth.
